Mario: I think Earth is closer to the Sun in the summertime.

Louie: I think the Sun gives off more heat in the summertime.

Brad: I think Earth rotates toward the Sun in summertime.

Chelsea: I think Earth tilts towards the Sun in summer and away from the
Sun in winter.

April: I think the sunlight that hits Earth is spread out more in the
summertime.

something else.
